Which breed naturally does better on pasture conditions than other breeds of cattle?
To date all breeds of cattle have been artificially selected for various traits, whether it's for milking, growth and size, feed efficiency (ability to convert feed to muscle using less feed than "normal"), maternal traits or docility, so it's almost literally politically incorrect to say that a certain breed "naturally" does better on pasture than others because there is no such thing. Many breeds can do well on pasture if they have the genetics and conformation to do so. Typically the British-breeds (Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn, Devon and the composite mixes like Black Hereford, Speckle Park and Murray Grey) are better adapted at gaining and doing well on grass than continentals (Charolais, Simmental, Maine Anjou, Gelbvieh, and Limousin). A breed developed by Gerald Fry called the American Herbataraus is one that uses such traits and breeding to develop a breed that is meant for being raised on grass, provided the genetics and conformation is there and these can be developed further using Rotokawa Devon bulls to further enhance these traits.

How many miniature Zebu Cattle can graze on an acre of prarie land in northern arizona if the Pasture grass and soil is excellent and cattle will be supplementally fed in the winter?
In excellent pasture conditions, an acre of land can typically support about 5 to 10 miniature Zebu cattle, depending on factors like forage availability and grazing management. Since these cattle are smaller than standard breeds, they require less space and food. If supplementally fed during winter, this number could be on the higher end of that range, ensuring their nutritional needs are met year-round. Proper management practices will maximize the health and productivity of both the cattle and the pasture.
